Adding a New Page

When you first begin working with your team site, of course, SharePoint Online has started the process for you by giving you both a team site and a public-facing website that you can use to share information with your clients and prospective customers. But part of thinking through the overall plan for your team site means envisioning what other pages you want to include. Depending on the type of team you’re creating—and the type of work you all need to do together—your site will need different types of pages. So what kind of pages will you want to add? In a later section, you’ll learn about web parts, but you might want to create different page for different functions. For example, one page might contain your marketing strategy, a document library of marketing files you use, some marketing images, and a post area where those on your team who are focusing on marketing can update the others about their project tasks. Another page might be a general team page, in which you use social media type updates, announcements, and more to help the team stay in sync. Another page might have a log of deliverables—which pieces need to be reviewed when. To add a page to your team site, follow these steps: 1. Click the [+ Add New Page] link in the navigation bar on the left side of the screen. (See Figure 5-12.) 2. In the New Page dialog box, type a name for the new page and click Create.
